Extreme overclockers break records with new MSI X99 motherboard

Matthew Wilson June 3, 2015 Component, Motherboard

At Computex yesterday, MSI revealed its latest X99 motherboard, the ‘X99A Godlike Gaming' and it is already off to a great start as overclockers have already managed to break records with the board. Renowned overclockers, Benchbros, Wizerty, Vivi and Zzolio, broke seven top global scores and hardware records in total during the G.Skill Overclocking World Record event.

This was the fourth annual G.Skill overclocking event, at which, the MSI X99A Godlike Gaming motherboard was used to pave the way for these record breaking overclocks.

In addition the MSI X99A XPOWER AC motherboard managed to hit a new milestone, being the first motherboard used to push DDR4 memory past the 4400 Mhz barrier. All of these performance breaking scores were achieved live at Computex on the first day of the event, which is quite a way to kick things off.

You can find out rundown of the MSI press conference from Computex, HERE. The company has announced plenty this week, including a new Nightblade PC, new gaming notebooks, upcoming motherboards and the company even talked briefly about future GTX 980's with all-in-0ne watercooling units attached to them.

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
